It’s dishonest It’s self-centered It’s rooted in fear vs. trust I know it doesn’t feel like that. Surface level, it feels like you’re being considerate, kind, and selfless. And sometimes, it’s totally all those things! Being a people pleaser isn’t ALL bad. Unless you’re a complete sociopath, we all fall on a spectrum somewhere of “people pleaser.” But if you … Read More

I haven’t tracked or measured a single ounce of food in years… and NOTHING bad has happened. I haven’t cut out carbs or sugar. I haven’t weighed out my protein. I haven’t cut an avocado into impossibly small 1/4’s. Sometimes I cook with cooking spray and other times whatever oil I have on hand- no biggie either way. And nothing … Read More

Will power is not infinite & it doesn’t have separate buckets. If you’re having to use a ton of willpower to make sure you don’t eat anything after dinner, that’s the same willpower bucket you have for: not spending half your paycheck at Target, not screaming at your kids, not flicking off drivers in traffic, not telling your MIL to … Read More

I used to want skinny legs that didn’t touch- it’s what was in for so long. I wrapped my legs in Saran Wrap and spent 2+ hours a day on an elliptical. Because the world told me I needed a thigh gap in order to be pretty. Then thick legs and a big ass became the gold standard, and without … Read More

I used to think I helped women do this by helping them lose weight. All I did was cause a shit storm. I helped them feel better but ONLY if they were smaller. I helped them feel better but ONLY for a short time because the weight always comes back- with a vengeance no less, due to innate survival mechanisms … Read More

Do you trust yourself around food? It looks like having 4 types of regular ice cream in your freezer, 3 different types of family sized bags of chips in your cabinets, and last year’s Halloween candy in your house- all at once, for weeks, months, and years on end (when do snickers expire anyway?) and NEVER feeling like they’re calling … Read More

Intuitive eatin’ got ya freakin’? No, but really- do you feel like you’re doing it right but you still feel guilty after eating “too much” of something? Or do you feel like not dieting is a sham for people to “be lazy and eat whatever they want?” Those are common dieting thoughts that screw people up. It’s almost impossible to … Read More

Did you try to get back on track today? You know… totally overdid it this past weekend and just feeling like you need to reign it in a bit? I can guarantee that all the “getting back on track” that you do is THE reason you feel totally out of control every weekend. Here’s one easy thing you can do … Read More

“Am I bad for wanting to lose weight?” No. You live in a world that has clapped harder for you at your smallest. No. You live in a world that covets, lusts after, and celebrates women at their smallest. No. Everywhere you turn, weight loss is being sold to you as your answer. You’re not bad for wanting to lose … Read More

I like things that are surface-level ugly and broken. Like dogs with one eye or three legs- better yet if it’s a one-eyed, three legged dog. Puppies are no-brainer cute. And that’s all fine and good- but also? Easy. Don’t get me wrong- the usual pretty stuff is great. Sunsets and tulips and Christmas decorations- I love them all. But … Read More
